Board your riverboat to the delightful tunes of the Steam Calliope. Experience the sights and sounds of river life that enchanted characters of history and literature - like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer - and see the bustling activity of America's second-largest port!
Lunch option available Monday - Saturday.
Brunch option available Sunday only.
The boat boards at 11:00am and 2:00pm and departs promptly at 11:30am and 2:30pm. We recommend arriving 15 minutes prior to boarding.

Very easy boarding process. Advise to sit on the port side of the boat to get the best view of the buildings spoken about firat part of the tour. The last part of the tour, is simply cruising and you can walk around the boat. Great music, generous drinks, and good time.

I enjoyed sailing up and down the Mississippi, and watching the paddlewheel propel the ship. The band was quite good. The reason I didn’t give it five stars is after viewing the buffet lunch that was being served. So glad I didn’t op for the meal. Recommend you have lunch or dinner on shore and only pay for the cruise.

Good experience. Very informative. We went in December and I believe that the Best time is to go is right before sunset (2:30 PM to 4:30 PM ride) so that the weather is not too cold and you can still get a decent amount of sun.

We enjoyed this cruise very much. It is interesting to check out the engine room and see how steam boat works. We also love the music played by band on this cruise and enjoying the sceneries.

Tour Operator greed. Overbooked -made it difficult to move around the ship. Couldn't find enough seating together for family of four- My family was split up. Sat on right side of ship but tour was mostly focused on left side of ship so we couldn't see why the tour guide was talking about.

A lot of history with this tour a must do, food was horrible. But the cruise itself was nice. Sightseeing was awesome.

My kids loved the engine and getting to see how the boat runs.
They had an open bar.. so it would have been pretty cool back in my younger days as well.
